Laravel - how to get list of migrations to do? - laravel

I have a long list of migration files and don't want to compare what already ran and what is suppopsed to run next time when I do
php artisan migrate
Is there a way how to display such list ( without actually installing new 3rd party package)?

Better user php artisan migrate:status
This will basically show you the migrations which have been run and which are pending as well

You can use php artisan migrate --pretend to dump a list of all database queries that would be ran if you would migrate. But there is no command to list the migration files that would be executed.

Creating Schema automatically using migration in Laravel

Is it possible to create schemas automatically in the database when xampp is turning on? There is no information about it in the Laravel documentation, documentation says only how to do it manually by writing the command php artisan migrate.
Xampp includes a script called apache_startup.bat in the root directory, you can add the following line to it
c:\xampp\php\php.exe -f /path/to/laravel/app/artisan migrate
Then when the apache server starts, it should run that the equivalent of php artisan migrate to setup the database.
You can do php artisan make:migration [migration-name] - other than that, you have to fill the rest yourself.

what is artisan migrate:install use for?

It is not mentioned in the docs and in the CLI help, it says - Creates the Migration Repository.
What does that mean?
When I run thus command it says - database laravel not found.
Laravel creates a migrations table in your database to keep track of what migrations have already been ran on your database. If you run php artisan migrate:install, this table is created.
This table makes sure that when you run php artisan migrate, migrations that have already been ran on the database are not done again.
When migrating, this table is also created automatically, there is no need to run the install command beforehand.
The reason for your error is probably because you have not set the correct database credentials in either your .env file or config/database.php file.

I can not migrate tables again

I deleted all tables in database, but my error is :
table.questions exists
so I can not migrate them, does it depend on something else as well?
You can run:
php artisan migrate:refresh
to rollback all the tables (including the migrations table) and recreate everything again.
It's impossible if you really removed all the tables from database.
Make sure you really deleted all tables including migrations table.
Normally when you want to revert all migrations you should run:
php artisan migrate:reset
If you haven't done this assuming you have are running Laravel 5.5 you can run:
php artisan migrate:fresh
I would advise you to read the whole Migrations documentation to know how they work and how you should create them. In fact you should not remove tables manually and just run:
php artisan migrate:rollback
to rollback migrations previously run or as I already said you can run one one previously mentioned commands to rollback or rollback and run again your migrations.
You get this error because you already have this table in DB. You need to drop a table in down() method of each migration and use php artisan migrate:rollback command to delete last batch of executed migrations.
In 5.5 you also can use php artisan migrate:fresh if you do not drop tables in the down() method.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/migrations#rolling-back-migrations
Or you can just manually recreate a DB and run php artisan migrate command.
I found it , I had a middleware in boot for question table and added this:
if(\Schema::hasTable('questions')) {
....
}

How can I migrate my new migration file in Laravel?

sorry for silly question but I'm really facing problem. After migrating all the migration files. When I need another features for my project I have to make another table but When I'm going to migrate the new table using "php artisan migrate:rollback" or "php artisan migrate:rollback step=17" .... all the migration files are migrating this time too and I am losing all previous data. Then How can I migrate only the new one?
To migrate only new migrations is simple: php artisan migrate. The way the process works is that Laravel creates a table in your database called migrations. In that table are the names of the migrations that have been run already. If there are new migrations the above command will work.
You can read more about running migrations in the documentation.
To migrate any new migration created php artisan migrate is the artisan command.
To get the details of all commands php artisan is the artisan command.
To get the details of any specific command php artisan help command-name-here.
In the case of creating a new file, you only need to run php artisan migrate again.
If you want modify original migration file and migrate it again, you can use this package to migrate.
First, install package in your Laravel project:
composer require caloskao/migrate-specific
Register command at app/Console/Kernel.php :
protected $commands = [
\CalosKao\MigrateSpecific::class
];
Now, run this command to migrate your file
php artisan migrate:specific database/migrations/table.php

Laravel migration undefined index

I am using Laravel 5.3.I deleted one of my migration files name 'feature' and everything related to it very carefully like its id from other tables etc.then i manually deleted the table from database.But now while i'm running the command "php artisan migrate:refresh".It's showing error exception with 'undefined index:***_create_features_table'.And when I'm running just 'php artisan migrate'.it shows that it was successful and all the tables successfully appear in the database.but then when i run migrate:refresh all the table disappears.what should i do to completely delete the migration file?
Try this.
First Manually delete the migration file under app/database/migrations/my_migration_file_name.php
Reset the composer autoload files: composer dump-autoload
Modify your database: Remove the last entry from the migrations table
Here is what I did.I cleared all the data from the database including all tables and then ran 'php artisan migrate'..that is how i made it work..But i am looking for a better solution which will not need to delete everything from the database.
Try check that you have the correct migrations first
php artisan migrate:status
Then you can try something like
php artisan migrate:refresh --step=1
And check again the status.
If you have Undefined index error and your migration was made with --path option, then add to your ModuleServiceProvier boot() method:
$this->loadMigrationsFrom(base_path('database/migrations/directory-name'));
in the migration just add $table->index(['column Name 1',''column Name 1']);
With my case, I forgot to do the Laravel migrate before running Infyomlabs to create scaffold!
So one of the reasons for "Undefined index" is that the table is not there yet.
